The End of the Second Punic War and Rome's Expansion: Key Events and Challenges

The conclusion of the Second Punic War marked a pivotal moment in Roman history, as Gnaeus and Publius Cornelius Scipio successfully blocked Hannibal’s routes, leading to Carthage's surrender in 201 BC. Following this victory, Rome turned its attention eastward, encountering challenges from the Hellenistic kingdoms, notably Philip V of Macedon and Antiochus III of Syria. Subsequent conflicts like the Second and Third Macedonian Wars further expanded Roman influence in Greece. By 146 BC, with the fall of Corinth and Spain's wars, Rome solidified its dominance in the Mediterranean.
